The publisher of the Chicago Inter-< > .1 os, 
in that paper, the following unso'u testi¬ 
monial, which speaks for Itself: 
Office of The Inter Ocean, Chicago, Jan. 10 , iw'* 
Dr9. Starkey and Pai.en,—O' enHpmen.-—It Is con¬ 
trary to my rules to give certificates to the many 
healing remedies that are advertised, but my expe¬ 
rience with Compound Oxygen has been such that 
I feel it my duty to recommend It to all my acquaint¬ 
ances suffering from overwork and a tendency to 
pulmonary trouble. In October, 1878, I was In 
very poor health. My system had been much 
overtaxed, hud a cold contracted in the spring 
seemed t.o have taken permanent hold on my lungs. 
• I had had several slight hemorrhages,was troubled 
with a cough, and was much reduced in flesh. I 
was discouraged and my family alarmed at my 
condition. A friend In Boston sent my wife one of 
your little books, strongly recommending your 
remedy. I was besought to order the Home Treat¬ 
ment, and did so. 1 followed Instructions faithfully, 
and In three months was a new mun. My troubles 
had almost entirely disappeared. The Improve¬ 
ment, had been quiet, but certain and sure from the 
time I first began Its use. I feel very grateful to you 
for It, and wish that I could persuade all suffering 
In a similar way to perse vert ugly use your simple 
and effective remedy. Business ts very con flu Ing 
and exacting, and when I take cold and feel my¬ 
self runulng down, I resort to compound Oxygen, 
and it Is always prompt In tts results. I feel like 
commending It to all. It Is not a ktll-or-cure 
remedy. If It docs not cure It surely does not in¬ 
jure. Tours truly, Wm. Penn Nixon.

and Results, sent free. Address Dks, Starkey &

Drops, with great regularity, one grain in a place, 
either 12,10 or 20 Inches apart, does the covering uni 
form in Clepth, and is both time and labor saving. \ 
given area of corn planted with this machine contains 
as many plants as when hilled, but their arrangement 
is such that each plant haw access to the same amount 
of plant-food that, must necessarily be divided between 
from 3 to 6 plants when huddled together in a hit I. 
Hence a healthy start and vigorous growth of the 
plants aaid the conseciueut production of large, well 
matured ears, by which the quality is improved, ancl 
the yield increased from 10 to 20 bushels per acre, over 
hill planting are natural results following the use of 
our Corn Drill. Send for circular.
